Todd,

I think you sent me a private message on this topic. I originally rece= ived it on my iPhone and wanted to respond more thoroughly than would have = been easily done on my phone. However, by the time I got to my PC it slippe= d my mind.

I am sorry.

Yes. I did similar to your mod. I also drilled some holes in my alumin= um tube in case it slipped out somehow so that the piece would not block th= e passage completely.

I had tried most off the suggestions to NO avail, a few times. I do ha= ve the ridge referred to and added the white ring around the o-ring SEVERAL= times.

I am monitoring my pressure and so for it seems ok with a few hours on= the latest rebuild and a couple of short flights. I am about to head to th= e airport to attempt flight now. We shall see.
